Most Florida airports open, but cancellations linger after Irma

Most commercial airports in Florida are open although
hundreds of flights are still being canceled or delayed as the state recovers
from Hurricane Irma.

Miami International Airport said Tuesday that limited
airline and cargo flights had resumed. The first departure was an American
Airlines flight to Las Vegas around 7 a.m.

The Federal Aviation Administration says airports in Fort
Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Orlando, Tampa and Jacksonville are open. The
airport in Naples on the southwest coast is closed except for emergency
flights.

FlightAware.com says about 2,000 U.S. flights scheduled for
Tuesday were canceled by early afternoon, including about 500 in Miami and 400
in Orlando. Airlines are telling passengers to make sure their flight is on
time before going to the airport.
